    This is one gorgeous bird of prey, Ken. Nice exposure and details. I am finding the "branch" on the left distracting and would wish that he were looking a tad more toward the camera. I like the ruffled plumes around his face.

    I normaly always use 800 on the MkiV, although in this case I could have dropped to 400, but not to sure if this would make a lot difference
